Paul Barry to leave ABC’s Media Watch in December

The Australian’s Media Writer Sophie Elsworth has reacted to Paul Barry’s announcement that he will depart the ABC’s Media Watch program in December after 11 years in the role.  Mr Barry said it’s “time to give someone else a go” and will host his final episode in December.  “I think a lot of people will be hoping that the next person that takes over from Paul Barry won’t have this intense focus on News Corp that he has had,” Ms Elsworth told Sky News host Steve Price.  “Let’s welcome in the new person and hope they are more fair and balanced.”
